I don’t know if there is such a thing as a self-induced pork coma and I really don’t want to find out. But I have done some major sampling today at the World Pork Expo. This little display of Plowboys BBQ was found in the Boehringer Ingelheim tent and they were really good. I also sampled ribs in the Novus International tent, Pork Network tent and the Pork Checkoff media lunch. They were all good but I give my personal award to the Pork Checkoff. They served Mediterranean Back Ribs cooked in a pomegranate sauce. They were fall off the bone tender.

To top off the Pork Checkoff media lunch we had cake that celebrates 25 years of service.

The Pork Checkoff is sponsoring the Producers Opportunity for Revenue and Knowledge (PORK) Academy here at the Iowa State Fairgrounds too.

By the way. If you want that Mediterranean Back Ribs recipe you can find it right here on the Pork Checkoff website.
